Your restaurant or bar explained
before you walk in.

Marlon reads across the tools you already use and sends one short easy to read brief each morning. What happened and what to do about it.

Free during early pilot

Running a bar can mean running different apps.

POS for sales. A spreadsheet for inventory. Another app for scheduling. A separate login for the books.

  • POS Tells you what sold, not what it means.
  • Inventory A sheet you print and walk the room with.
  • Scheduling Its own login, its own login screen.
  • Books Yet another location where information lives.
  • Reservations You check for VIPs and special occasions every day, all day.

Saturday's book is up to 84 covers, 12 over last week. You're a barback short on the schedule, and well gin is down to a bottle and a half.

How Marlon works

No new system to learn. Marlon connects to what you're already running.

  1. 1 Connect

    Link your POS

    Marlon reads sales and labor data straight from Toast — read-only, nothing changes on your end.

  2. 2 Read

    Marlon does the digging

    Every morning, Marlon compares today against your patterns and flags what actually needs your attention.

  3. 3 Act

    One brief, one action

    A short message, not a dashboard. What happened and why it matters, by text or in your inbox.

Built by a team who has been on the floor.

Marlon is the name of a real Chicago manager who made service flow seamlessly by focusing on efficiency, team morale, and hospitality. That's the feeling we want the product to have — not just a tool, but a trusted presence.

Marlon is currently piloting with a small group of independent business operators.
